The railway bridge was hit yesterday morning by the white van, with pictures showing it stuck underneath.

People took to social media to express their frustration at another driver missing the height restriction sign.

Earlier this week a yellow Mercedes Sprinter van collided into the bridge but the driver escaped without injury.

Since 2009 the bridge – crowned the UK’s most bashed bridge in an informal annual ‘competition’ – has now been struck 115 times.

Despite numerous warning signs, van and HGV drivers continue to underestimate the height of the bridge and have caused 36 hours of delays for rail passengers.

Network Rail says it has spent over £100,000 in the past five years on repairs.
